NWB Memorial Challenge 2014 for the Fallen to benefit the NWAA.

In memory of fallen NWB members Martin Leyland, Martin Crewe & Sean Foden, riders are invited to register for the challenge and raise funds for the NWAA. This challenge is double barrelled, resulting in two awards. Both awards would be base around 70 Landmarks across the British mainland.

Guidelines,
Registration can be taken out at anytime through 2014. Landmarks can be visited prior to registration.

Riders will need to submit a copy of their bikes registration documents in their name to myself. This may be an electronic or posted photo copy.

To show you have visited a landmark you will need a picture of your bike/open top trike/combination or quadbike in sight of the landmark with registration number (and legal “L” plate) on clear display (these will not be displayed unless you choose to do so). You may also take other pictures for forum banter purposes should you so choose. Flexibility will be exercised where reverenced is due. Graveyards for instance.

You will be required to submit your landmark pictures, bike(s) reg docs once you have completed you activities and for the Donators challenge, financial accounts if your wish to be considered for awards . Close date in my (or nomanees) hand or posted by, with post mark of 31/12/2014 or prior.

The Riders Challenge
Each Landmark would be awarded a “points levy” according to the distance to it from Liverpool docks. The winner would be the rider who acquired the most points by the end of the year or who acquired all the points first. A handicap for machines under 600cc can be claimed using the below formula:-

=SUM(SUM(SUM(SUM(IF(D<600,SUM(600/D),1)-1)/3.555)+1)*P)

D = The utilised vehicles displacement.
P = The Landmark points

“L” riders may claim a further factor of 1.2 providing a legal “L” plate is displayed on the vehicle in the photo.

The Donators Challenge
Riders should gain sponsorship for participating in the event. The winner would be the rider who generates the largest gift for the NWAA.

To register there would be a £10 fee going to the NWAA. Registration fees can be made direct to the NWAA via their website and the receipt forwarded to me with your home address (Feel free to obscure your bank details). Please name the “NWB Memorial Challenge 2014 for the Fallen”

Alternatively, I am willing to assist those unfamiliar with this kind of payment.

I'd better get finding some sponsors then

And petrol money... haha

 

NO 28... CABMEN'S HUT.... Out of the numerous possibilities, does it matter which one ?

 

Yes, the county gives it away.

 

Gotcha... strange things google turns up.... could ave bin 'itchin a long ride there

 

So Herts, Beds. Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire for the 'Hut' 2 different counties. Could this not cause confusion?
It appears they are known as shelters by the fund etc, not huts.

I notice counties for England and Scotland but NOT Wales?

Not trying to be pedantic but would it not be better to have all destinations given the same type of location info.

 

There is a little ambiguity in the huts / shelters.. But as a fair man I'm sure Cabernet would accept a picture of a green box in the right location. The one I found that meets the criteria is in Hitchin. Don't know if that's the one he wants....

 

Same as I found but the one on Russel Square has links to Bedford/shire.

 

It you read the full clue, the one in Hitchin was used as someone's garden shed for several years before being given to the Hitchin historic society.

 

I did before even posting and yes your right.

 

Storm in a tea cup !! lol..... appears my cryptic powers are feckin uselsss.... hope my navigation skills are better when the weather picks up !!

 

How do you want the registration receipt forwarding?

 

What's the sign up fee and I'll get my docs sent over to you.

Just need you to PMme the acknowledgement from the NWAA website.
Edit out anything you are not comfortable with.

 

Tried that earlier, but don't think you can add attachments.

 

Same here. Wouldn't let me attach it to a pm.

 

If you have Tapatalk do the PM and add a picture as a image
